Keto Breakfast Cauliflower Waffle Recipe [Low Carb] (2024)

I had the opportunity to go to my first proper Farmer’s Market last weekend – and wow, did it ever live up to my expectations! Garlic, peppers of all kinds and assortments (stuffed poblanos, anyone?), buffalo meat, eggs, sheep cheese, green beans, homemade soaps, fresh flowers, beautiful pumpkins, and… PURPLE CAULIFLOWER! I was super excited to find purple cauliflower as it’s just at the end of the season and I’ve been on a mission for it.

We decided to pick up the purple cauliflower and had fun experimenting with it – did you know it turns water green when steamed? My girlfriend made for us one of her specialty dishes – cauliwaffles! We had them two ways, the first breakfast was eggs benedict with prosciutto, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce. The second morning was with a homemade smoked salmon dip – the waffles taste GREAT reheated in the oven, but are amazing cold too. Both dishes hit the spot on the cooler fall mornings we’re having now.

These things are perfectly crisp and all the different flavors of cheeses come through with each and every bite. These are also pretty “oops” proof – you can put them in the pan and forget them for a bit, and they’ll still turn out great – even after leaving them in for 10+ minutes, I’ve never had a problem with them sticking.

It really helps to have a belgian waffle maker that can flip because it helps distribute the heat evenly and cook it throughly when its upside down.
